"The wry fantasy of this delightful play, written in a poetic idiom both witty and lyrical, probes with an agile irony the follies and hopes of our time. In the precarious playground of grown-ups, anxiety abides, ostriches are homeless, and the right bright balloon has a string attached. The Playground quietly won its author a Phelan Award and received its first production at Mills College. Here in a completely revised new version this deft and provocative work appears in book form for the first time. The many droll illustrations by Zev which accompany the text add their own note of playful perversity to this uneasy frolic through a precarious world." Illustrator: Zev. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1 lb 8 oz. Category: Theatre & Plays; Books; Signed by Author. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 008265.
